Museum of the Battle for Crete and National Resistance Tours and Activities

Experience over 5,500 years of Cretian history at this important museum which has relics collected from the Minoan, Greek and Roman empires.

Dedicated to the patron saint of Crete, this Byzantine church has been renovated and repurposed by some of the world's greatest historical empires.

Experience the city’s Venetian history as you explore this beautifully restored building, where ancient noblemen once came to meet and watch theatre performances.

This picturesque cathedral serves a dual role as Heraklion’s modern Municipal Art Gallery and a monument to Crete’s ancient Venetian culture.

Don’t miss this ornate fountain in Heraklion’s central square, which once brought daily drinking water to thousands of inhabitants.

Watch fishing boats returning with their day's catch, enjoy a coffee in the fresh sea air or board a ferry bound for Crete’s nearby islands in this dynamic harbour.
